Dans has been a big booster of Trump's plans to acquire Greenland, has frequently appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast, and was involved in arranging both Don Jr.'s trip to Nuuk in Jan 2025 and the Vance's disastrous trip to Greenland later that same yr.

It would take decades for the full story to come to light, along with revelations that the U.S. had built a secret missile launch facility under the ice sheet (Camp Century), about 150 miles east of the military base. All of this activity was done without the knowledge of the Greenlandic people. 3/

Local hunters at a nearby camp were dispatched to help with search, rescue, and cleanup but were not informed of the risk they were taking. It was the middle of January. Bitterly cold. No daylight.

Years later, nearly all of these men died of cancer. 2/

When I traveled to Greenland and Qaanaaq in 2023, I was genuinely surprised to learn that, despite everything mentioned above, there was a great deal of affection for the US. Denmark was often blamed for actions that we were responsible for. We were the good cop.
